You should ask bandana almanac about sizing. He knows everything you need to know about KapitalLooks great. I've spent the past couple of weeks ordering a few bits from Kapital - one of most interesting Japanese brands for me, although I'm still trying to get my head round their sizing .
I've been looking at the brushed cotton ring-coats, but still haven't worked out whether I can afford to size down.
onitaps, are your pants P15s? They look great.
caveat: it is by no means possible to wear this outside in LA at the moment (or in the foreseeable future)
I'm halfway joking, they're not outright rude or anything, but they are a bit distant and cool there.
At places like Gullam, Boutique W, Lift, Carrefour, Rick Owens, places that are obviously run by weird nerds quite passionate about clothing, they just seem happy to share all the cool stuff they have on display. At larger places like Isetan, the customer service is a bit less personal, but incredibly polite and helpful without being pushy.
At CdG, they're just kind of... standing around looking cool? I asked if I could try on a $2500 Paul Harnden jacket, and the salesperson just kind of nodded at me and then proceeded to stare at me without offering any kind of followup whatsoever. This is par for the course since I stop by once or twice a season to try stuff on. It's a beautiful store and I like CdG stuff but I hesitate to buy anything there due to the lukewarm service. Seems too stuck up and "fashion" for me. Dover Street Market is the same way, beautiful store and layout with a grand design, but absolutely no feeling of warmth and it's almost always empty. The Uni-Qlo across the street is so much cooler.
